Roksanda Ilincic Turns Sotheby’s Curator

I have been so lucky, lots of wonderful people have worn it. But I've never seen a man wearing it - I'd love to see a really exciting man wearing it!

What was the last piece of clothing you bought for yourself?

I generally don't shop as I have so much of my own label in abundance. I wear clothes from all seasons - one of the things I love about my label is that it translates from season to season and can be worn altogether and mixed and matched.

What's your most prized possession?

Probably the jewellery that my husband has given me.

If you weren't a fashion designer, what would you be?

I genuinely don't know. When I was younger, I wanted to be a ballerina, then an architect, then a racing driver, then a surgeon. At one point I thought I'd love to be a florist but being a designer suits me. You can change more in fashion than you can with flowers.

What can we expect from it?

I wanted it to reflect my passions for architecture and colour. And I wanted shop assistants who don't just advise on clothes, but also on where else to go in London; what exhibitions to see etc. I wanted to find people with the same interests as me and I think we've managed it so I really feel lucky.
